MQTT経由での同期: 概要

Sync for IoT is currently in Developer Preview, which means access is by invite only. If you'd like to try what you see in these docs, sign up for the developer preview and the team at Twilio will get you onboarded as soon as possible.

Within the Internet of Things, MQTT has emerged as the de-facto standard protocol for low-power, low-footprint devices. The protocol supports this domain with extraordinarily low network overhead and a good model for direct connectivity and connectivity through a gateway. In addition, open-source MQTT clients are available for virtually every platform.

In Twilio, we use the MQTT protocol to represent Sync state to low-power devices. This means your IoT device state is available to your backend services (via web hooks) and to your browser or mobile device, as well as the reverse direction. To support this, we at Twilio have applied a convention to the MQTT topic hierarchy, and we have interpreted particular MQTT protocol features (e.g. “clean sessions”, quality-of-service) through the lens of state synchronization.
